    I enjoyed this game . the combat system does need work i.m.o it gets stale,and i noticed myself trying to avoid combat quite a few times because it feels a bit pointless without a xp system even though you do get coins/confetti.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King is a unique and colorful adventure out to shame by the lack of originality and interesting characters. Let me tell you what I mean. Let’s not beat around the bush here, The Origami King is not an RPG. If you grew up in the days of The Thousand Year Door, you’re most likely going to be disappointed with the outcome. Gone are the days of taking turns andPaper Mario: The Origami King is a unique and colorful adventure out to shame by the lack of originality and interesting characters. Let me tell you what I mean. Let’s not beat around the bush here, The Origami King is not an RPG. If you grew up in the days of The Thousand Year Door, you’re most likely going to be disappointed with the outcome. Gone are the days of taking turns and planning your attacks, Instead, you operate a ring-based arena, trying to line up the enemies in either a straight line or a square of four. It takes a while to get used to. In fact, some areas are littered with these ring-based battles it gets overwhelming and repetitive. But I think the end, the battle system is a nice puzzle, and a delightful break from the main game. Speaking of the main game, it doesn’t follow our favorite plumber Mario through the same “damsel-in-distress story. Instead, he finds Princess Peach has been completely turned into Origami by King Olly, the game’s biggest rival. The character itself doesn’t have any notable personality, besides his fierce desire to turn every piece of paper into Origami. That same storyline follows throughout the entire game, and is implemented very well. The beginning stages are very linear. And hearing Olivia, Mario’s over-zealous but sweet partner constantly hold your hand gives very little chance of being able to work things out on your own. And leaving out the very rare cases, it’s like this the whole game. Along with this idea, Mario can ask Olivia for hints anytime he likes, and usually those hints give away the answer completely. However, the stages and areas get much more appealing and larger the further you progress. With collectibles to find constantly, it barely feels like a constraint. But, aside from the mountainous treasures you find along the way, one bad habit sticks throughout the game- the hidden toads. These toads are everywhere. From a leaf on a tree, to a swan in a pool, to a flower hidden away in the dirt, it makes it almost impossible to find them all without any help, especially with how big the areas get the further you progress. And 100% an area is usually limited for this reason alone. It is definitely the games biggest restraint, and leaves much room to be desired in terms of completing the game fully. So, for all those reasons alone, I feel Paper Mario: The Origami King deserves a six. It was a fun adventure, and kept me occupied throughout the vast and expansive areas to explore, but in terms of collecting it really doesn’t hold up well. So, if you’re hungering for an original RPG, you should definitely pass and just play The Thousand Year Door for the Ump-Teenth time. If however you just want a fun little puzzler with lots of beautiful lands to explore, I highly suggest it. Happy Gaming, Fellow Gamers -Apportal… Expand

Now the combat system is pretty unique, it’s laid out like a puzzle and when you do it right you get your attacks powered up, the bosses in the other hand are completely different and unique they always add something new to the bosses each one feels unique in they’re own way which is awesome. The soundtrack is absolute perfection, every tune is a jam. There is one minor issue with the game though, at the start you might have issues getting the hang of the combat system and the boss fights but when you master them no harm will be on your way. Paper Mario The Origami King is a thriller, it’s fun in every way from the combat and bosses to the worlds to even the soundtrack it’s all there in this complete package, don’t let the minor issue get to you the game is absolutely worth it especially for the humor.

As we all know that didn't happen and from what I heard about the game I was so sad/mad that they didn't want to recreate those amazing experiences and it seemed like they were doing all the wrong things (keeping a weird battle system, no real partners, no star points or RPG element, no badges, no unique characters just toads galore) and I decided I'd skip the game as a boycott. I ended up getting a copy as a gift from a good friend who knows I love Paper Mario and didn't have a choice keeping it, felt bad telling them i wanted to skip it and....

    I, LOVE, THIS, GAME. Sure it IS NOT a return to form in anyway, but it's still a fantastic game full of wonderful surprises. The world is SO picturesque, probably one of the most beautiful Mario worlds EVER created, I have to say whoever was part of developing the art for this game NEEDS a raise. The music is beautiful and makes the world come to life. The dialogue is SO SO SMART and funny. I am having such a good time playing this game, it's so colorful and happy, it's almost like a therapy that's well needed in times like these! The puzzles and platforming are great and I even got into the new battle system. Honestly speaking, had they made this exact game but kept the old battle system it would be my favorite Paper Mario by far. it has CHARM and SOOO MUCH LIFE to it. I just can't explain it, please don't boycott it for no reason, TRY, THIS, GAME!!!! I don't think you'll be disappointed!    … Expand

    Boss fights are a highlight of the combat system with the minion fights being frustrating when you can't see the correct line up. The writing and localisation is top notch as usual with Nintendo in house games and the world is certainly charming enough, but the choice to point out the blindingly obvious to the player every step of the way puts a dampener on the whole thing. So nothing special but worth it at a cut down price.    … Expand

    Un juego muy fresco y divertido. La mecánica del juego es un pseudo RPG con combates por turnos (un sistema de combate nuevo y bastante ágil).

    El juego en si está dividido en los típicos mundos de los juegos de Mario, con algo de plataformas y puzzles.

    No es un juego difícil, es entretenido y la historia esta bien.

    Hay que destacar sus diálogos muy frescos, con humor y muy actuales.

    The battles are fun and some of the later ones are pretty puzzling. The boss battles in particular are all super diverse, force you to think, and are tons of fun. Some people say the battles are pointless because they give EXP instead of coins, but honestly I never ran from a fight. Battles are fun, so you don't need to attach some arbitrary incentive like EXP to make the player want to fight.

    I've never felt so cheated out of 60 bucks. The combat is absolutely pathetic and there is zero incentive to complete it. If there was XP or a chance to gain items that would be one thing.

The only thing I wish was different was partners, if we could have a party and have the battles scale in challenge and size along with your party, I think it would give a great sense of progression, which I feel is limited with how the party system works.

    The gameplay was certainly better than I expected from looking at trailers or videos. I want to add that I find puzzles and riddles very difficult so this was a challenge for me at times.

    The graphics and art style are amazing in this game, the colours pop right off my monitor when playing the game. Also the framerate was good for the most part, when there is a lot of particles on screen (confetti is a good example) the framerate certainly dipped into the 20's.

    Was nun ein wenig zum Abzug in meiner (!) Bewertung führt, wäre z.B. dass ein Leicht-Modus fehlt. Ich bin so überfordert mit den Kämpfen, dass mir nicht mal 10 Minuten ausreichen um einen sinnvollen Zug auszurechnen, wie man einem Boss Schaden zufügt. Gott sei Dank kann man sich (noch) eines legalen Tricks bedienen, in aller Ruhe seinen Zug zu planen.
    Ebenfalls wäre schön gewesen (aber kein Muss) die Schnellreise-Röhren auf der Karte zu sehen. So muss man sich die merken.
    Ein Hot-Swap für’s Zubehör wäre eine weitere Steigerung. Hat man die Toad-Glocke aktiviert, muss man durchs Menü rascheln um die Frageziechen-Glocke zu aktivieren.
    Manche Rätsel (wie. z.B. die Kristall-Augen der Türme) fand ich für mein Alter zu kryptisch. Die drei Tempel gegen Ende fand ich böse.
    Für ein RPG fehlen Angaben wie z.B. Stärke etc. eines Rüstungsteiles
    Warum kann ich Items nicht verkaufen beim Händler? Ich muss die entsorgen?
    Die Rate Show am Quell der Farben war zwar witzig, äußerst witzig, aber für mich ebenfalls nicht mal ansatzweise machbar.
    Ein Completion Bildschirm nach dem Durchspielen hätte alles abgerundet.
    Alles in allem muss sich durch die Community kämpfen, die wenig gute Haare daran lässt. Verstehe ich einerseits nicht, da Intelligent System hier einen fehlerfreien Job macht, aber andererseits doch ein bisschen, da bspw.. in meinem Fall die Kämpfe zu schwer sind ohne Leichtmodus.    … Expand

    Paper Mario: The Origami King arrives on Nintendo Switch with very high quality graphics, a pleasant soundtrack and a plot full of very good humor, typical of the Paper Mario series. Among countless places to visit, bosses to win, and puzzles to solve, the game can be considered one of the best in the franchise.

    Paper Mario deserves better. The prestige of a Final Fantasy veteran appropriating his magic onto a handicraft world deserves better. The unforgettable wit and lovable cast expanding Mario lore deserves better. And we know that Intelligent Systems can do better than committing themselves to a misguided identity crisis.
